re: email billing vent
There are legit privacy & security concerns regarding bills & email.
But these same companies have no problem with sending actual payment confirmations by email, though. They tell me what I paid & when in email, but not what I owe & when.

Pain not in the ISP help desk job description
I went up on a house roof today, and I apparently walked on the steep-angled parts wrong. Both my ankles have mild but noticeable swelling, & one started hurting about 2 hours after I came back down. I've been walking with a limp the whole afternoon and evening.
